If you have a fresh ip and try to make an account and you volunteer a damn number (any number) it doesn't asks for verification. If it does it means you haven't cleared cookies, cache blablabla

I beg to differ. Have you tried to make a Yahoo account recently? They have changed something because I have a method of obtaining a fresh IP every time here in the US and Yahoo wants to go the whole text message verification route now.

If you have another way, by all means, respond with a method like the OP is asking.

So how do you retrieve the text message confirmation code from the "made up" number to actually finish making the account?

It does not ask me for one, my only guess is this is a USA thing. I always see people banging on about PVAs and I always wonder what the big deal is. It is only recent to my knowledge that Yahoo actually wanted a phone number. I have opened several accounts with random mobiles. The only time I have had issues with an account is when I have been out the UK and they have wanted to text my mobile to verify it is me.
